Just wanted to inform you all that we are working with our T-Shirt Printing Company RockSports Apparels to print some new HackFormers T-Shirts. They will be available soon in the HackFormers store for you to own.

In the meantime, if you are interested in these T-Shirts, please contact me at mano.paul@hackformers.org with the subject “HackFormers Tees – Reg.” and let me know the following:
1. design (Design # from the list below),
2. the size of the T-shirt (both male and female, adult and kids sizes will be available)
3. the color (black or white)
4. the number of Tees you need for each of the above.

These T-Shirts are expected to cost around $10 in the store besides shipping and handling but with bulk orders, we may be able to get a discount. 🙂

For those who will be attending DerbyCon 2014, (ISC)2 Security Congress 2014 or HouSecCon 2014, if I can get your T-Shirt orders in, by or before August 30th, 2014, I can get the Tees and bring them with me to DerbyCon / Security Congress (provided you will be there to pay and pick up).

I will try and get some additional T-Shirts as well for selling at DerbyCon, Security Congress or HouSecCon for about $15 and give all the profits from the sales, to Hackers for Charity, in support of our brother, Johnny Long who is faithfully following Jesus Christ’s mission, with his family, in Uganda.

So let me know which cool HackFormers Tee you need 🙂

What will be printed in the front of the T-Shirt:

Design #1: Decode This: It’s a matter of life or death! (Binary Speak)

For the hacker/geek in you, whip up a binary converter and check out what this reads. Pay attention to the colors to, as there are two words that are in this picture … both are important and it is a matter of life or death 🙂 For those who just want to give up now, scroll to the bottom of this post to find out what these two words are … 🙂

Design #2: Philippians 1:21 and Galatians 5:22-23 in Linux terms

Design #3: †0 Types of People

Design #4: Doing Exploits Biblically

Design #5: Jesus Tweet

Design #6: John 03:16 in L33t speak

What will be printed in the back of the T-Shirts (all T-Shirts):

On dark (Black) T-Shirt:

On light (White) T-Shirt:

Let me know and may God bless you.

………..

Did you really scroll to look here?
Design 1: A matter of life and death DECODED
The entire binary string would result in the word “John 03:16” which reads as shown in Design 6 in L33t speak.
The binary code in just the “Yellow” would result in the word “Jesus” – the Only begotten Son of God, referenced in John 03:16.

The next HackFormers meeting will be held on August 15th, 2014 and is free and open to all.

Seating is limited, so please Register!

Speaker: David Longenecker (@dnlongen)Follower of Christ, Father to Five, Security Researcher, Awana Commander …Date: August 15, 2014Time: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. with introductions beginning at 11:30 a.m.Venue: Microsoft Technology Center at Quarry Oaks 2.Address:10900 Stonelake Blvd. Suite 225. Austin, TX 78759
Abstract:Opportunities to stop a hack, as well as opportunities to follow Christ’s example, rarely appear with flashing neon lights. More often than not,both come in subtle forms, that may be missed if we are not on the lookout. In this “Phishers of Men” talk, David will use a walk-through of a recent phishing attempt to show how convincingly legitimate an attack can appear if one misses the few suspicious clues, and will relate it to a missed opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
